Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Small community and limited support

   The project has a relatively small number of contributors and issues on GitHub often go unanswered or take a long time to be addressed, indicating limited community engagement and support.

2. 02

   Not well-tested for large-scale applications

   There is little evidence of the library being used in production environments with complex state management requirements, raising concerns about its reliability at scale.

3. 03

   Lack of official TypeScript support

   While there is a community-maintained TypeScript SDK, it may not be as robust or up-to-date as an officially supported version, leading to potential issues with type safety and compatibility.

What it does well

• Zero dependencies for lightweight integration
